Here’s a list of 8 warm weather escapes that you might want to consider this year in order to remain warm and happy while the rest of your friends go crazy over some frozen water falling from the sky.

1. Martinique, French Caribbean
If your idea of a perfect Christmas includes palm trees, delicious cuisine, sandy beaches and the unhurried french pace of life – Martinique is the perfect place for you. Here you’ll be able to swim in the Caribbean see and enjoy hot summer temperatures while most of your friends and relatives bundle up in the freezing cold of winter.

2. Negril, Jamaica
When most people think of Jamaica they think of Kingston or Montego Bay. But if you want a vacation that will leave you feeling warm, calm and truly relax we suggest going to Negril. This city is way less touristy, so you’ll have a chance to just chill and enjoy the view.

3. Cartagena, Colombia
Cartagena is the perfect winter getaway for those who find beaches to be boring and want more of a cultural experience.

4. Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Abu Dhabi is meant to be just as mind blowing and luxurious as Dubai, but a bit calmer, with a slower pace of living. Here you’ll be able to see the intricate mosques, enjoy the wonders of Emirati cuisine and if you wish you can always hire a quadricycle and ride around the sand dunes in the desert.
